Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Basic Development Tools

Opening a procedure

To open an existing procedure file:

Choose File Open.
Select the filename from the Open dialog box, then choose OK.

The Procedure Editor cannot open a file with a comma in its name.

The Procedure Editor creates a new buffer, reads the file into it, makes it the current buffer, and labels it with the name of the file. You can open multiple buffers in the Procedure Editor, but you cannot open more than one buffer at a time for the same operating system file. The number of buffers is limited by system memory. You can access other buffers from the Buffer menu. For more information on the Buffer menu, see Chapter 4, " Procedure Editor Reference."

The maximum buffer size you can open in the Procedure Editor is the lesser of the following:

32,767*bytesPerLine, where bytesPerLine is the width of your terminal.
